rotherham@Genesis:39:6 @ so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.

rotherham@Genesis:39:7 @ And it came to pass after these things, that his lords wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, and she said Come! lie with me.

rotherham@Genesis:39:8 @ And he refused and said unto his lords wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:

rotherham@Genesis:39:14 @ that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.

rotherham@Genesis:39:15 @ And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gut forth outside.

rotherham@Genesis:39:16 @ So she laid by his garment beside her, until his lord should come into his house,

rotherham@Genesis:39:17 @ Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, He hath been in unto methe Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to usto insult me.

rotherham@Genesis:39:18 @ And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.

rotherham@Genesis:39:23 @ After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.

rotherham@Genesis:40:1 @ And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and the baker, had sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:40:2 @ Then fell the wroth of Pharaoh upon his two courtiers, upon the chief of the butlers, and upon the chief of the bakers;

rotherham@Genesis:40:3 @ so he delivered them up into the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, into the prison, the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

rotherham@Genesis:40:6 @ And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked at them, and lo! they were sad.

rotherham@Genesis:40:7 @ So he asked Pharaohs courtiers who were with him in the ward of his lords house, saying, Why are your faces troubled to-day!

rotherham@Genesis:40:8 @ And they said unto him, A dream, have we dreamed, but there is none, to interpret, it. Then said Joseph unto them Is it not unto God, that interpretations belong? Relate it. I pray you, to me.

rotherham@Genesis:40:9 @ And the chief of the butlers related his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, then lo! a vine, before me;

rotherham@Genesis:40:10 @ and, in the vine, three shoots, and the same at sprouting time, had shot up her blossom, and her clusters had brought to perfection ripe grapes.

rotherham@Genesis:40:11 @ Now, the cup of Pharaoh, being in my hand, I took the ripe grapes and pressed them out into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup upon Pharaohs palm.

rotherham@Genesis:40:12 @ And Joseph said to him, This, is the interpretation thereof, The three shoots are three days:

rotherham@Genesis:40:13 @ In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office, and thou shalt set the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

rotherham@Genesis:40:14 @ But if thou remember how I was with thee when it shall go well with thee, then wilt thou I pray thee do me a lovingkindness, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me forth out of this house;

rotherham@Genesis:40:15 @ For I was, stolen, out of the land of the Hebrews, and, even here, had I done nothing, that they should have put me in the dungeon,

rotherham@Genesis:40:16 @ Then the chief of the bakers, seeing that he had well interpreted, said unto Joseph, I, too, was in my dream, when lo! three wicker baskets of fine bread were on my head;

rotherham@Genesis:40:17 @ and, in the uppermost basket, was some of every kind of food for Pharaoh that a baker could make, but, the birds, kept eating them out of the basket from off my head.

rotherham@Genesis:40:18 @ And Joseph responded and said, This, is the interpretation thereof, The three baskets, are, three days:

rotherham@Genesis:40:19 @ In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

rotherham@Genesis:40:22 @ but, the chief of the bakers, he hanged, as, Joseph, had interpreted unto them.

rotherham@Genesis:40:23 @ Yet the chief of the butlers made no mention of Joseph but did forget him.

rotherham@Genesis:41:1 @ And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);

rotherham@Genesis:41:2 @ and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, and they fed among the rushes.

rotherham@Genesis:41:3 @ And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.

rotherham@Genesis:41:4 @ Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.

rotherham@Genesis:41:5 @ And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;

rotherham@Genesis:41:6 @ and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.

rotherham@Genesis:41:7 @ Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.

rotherham@Genesis:41:10 @ Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.

rotherham@Genesis:41:11 @ Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.

rotherham@Genesis:41:12 @ And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, to each manaccording to his dream, did he interpret,

rotherham@Genesis:41:13 @ And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.

rotherham@Genesis:41:14 @ Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.

rotherham@Genesis:41:15 @ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpreted it, but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.

rotherham@Genesis:41:16 @ And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!

rotherham@Genesis:41:17 @ Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;

rotherham@Genesis:41:18 @ When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, and they fed among the rushes.

rotherham@Genesis:41:19 @ And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.

rotherham@Genesis:41:20 @ Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;

rotherham@Genesis:41:21 @ and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

rotherham@Genesis:41:22 @ Then looked I in my dream, And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;

rotherham@Genesis:41:23 @ And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.

rotherham@Genesis:41:24 @ Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told to me.

rotherham@Genesis:41:25 @ Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.

rotherham@Genesis:41:26 @ The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, the dream, is, one.

rotherham@Genesis:41:27 @ And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to beseven years of famine.

rotherham@Genesis:41:28 @ The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.

rotherham@Genesis:41:29 @ Lo! seven years, coming in, of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:30 @ Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land;

rotherham@Genesis:41:31 @ neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, for it shall be livery severe.

rotherham@Genesis:41:32 @ And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.

rotherham@Genesis:41:33 @ Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:34 @ Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.

rotherham@Genesis:41:35 @ And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.

rotherham@Genesis:41:36 @ So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.

rotherham@Genesis:41:37 @ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants;

rotherham@Genesis:41:38 @ and Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?

rotherham@Genesis:41:39 @ So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.

rotherham@Genesis:41:40 @ Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.

rotherham@Genesis:41:41 @ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:42 @ So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hands and put it upon Josephs hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;

rotherham@Genesis:41:43 @ and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:44 @ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shah no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Josephs name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:46 @ Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:47 @ And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,

rotherham@Genesis:41:48 @ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in citiesthe food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.

rotherham@Genesis:41:49 @ Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.

rotherham@Genesis:41:50 @ Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.

rotherham@Genesis:41:51 @ And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.

rotherham@Genesis:41:52 @ And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.

rotherham@Genesis:41:53 @ Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, which was in the land of Egypt;

rotherham@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.

rotherham@Genesis:41:55 @ Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.

rotherham@Genesis:41:56 @ Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, so Joseph opened all wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:41:57 @ All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, because the famine had laid fast hold on an the earth.

rotherham@Genesis:42:1 @ Then saw Jacob that there was corn in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Wherefore look ye one at another?
